"Giving back to the road that gives us so much"

We strongly believe in "Giving back to the road that gives us so much". That's why a portion of proceeds will be gifted back to the Route 66 community for the purposes of preservation. Some of the cash beneficiaries include The Elbow Inn and the historic Boots Court. Both on Route 66 in Missouri.For 2018 we are co-organizing a fund raising effort through the sale of DVDs to refurbish the neon sign at Fender's River Road Resort on Route 66 in Needles California. In late 2018 we made a small cash donation to help preserve the former Roadrunner Retreat on Route 66 in the Mojave Desert.
